Witmer Welcome

The president’s home on Mt. Hope Avenue has been renamed the Witmer House, in honor of G. Robert Witmer Sr. ’26 and his wife, Marian C. Witmer. Renovations to the historic, 100-year-old house were designed by Friederike Seligman (pictured) and funded by a donation from G. Robert Witmer Jr. ’59, chairman of the Board of Trustees, and his wife, Nancy. The new space has permitted much more intensive use of the Witmer House for entertaining faculty, students, and friends of the University.
